Crosier Kilgour

What Crosier Kilgour does

Crosier Kilgour & Partners Ltd. is a privately held Canadian consulting engineering firm founded in 1954 and headquartered in Winnipeg, Manitoba, with a secondary office in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. The firm delivers structural engineering, structural restoration, building science, building commissioning, building performance analysis, and specialty services (insurance/litigation support, fall arrest, condition assessments) to institutional, healthcare, commercial, transportation, sports/recreation, and heritage clients across the Canadian prairies. Notable engagements include Manitoba Hydro Place (LEED Platinum, 22 storeys), Winnipeg James Armstrong Richardson International Airport terminal (LEED Silver, 600,000 sq ft), Health Sciences Centre Winnipeg Women's Hospital, and the National Research Council Advanced Manufacturing Program.

The firm operates a multi-disciplinary model that integrates structural design with building science, commissioning, and energy modelling under a single practice, allowing whole-building performance optimization rather than siloed engineering. Technical capabilities include dedicated in-house energy modelling using industry-leading simulation software, thermal bridging analysis to NECB standards, thermographic imaging, hygrothermal modelling, and embodied/operational carbon accounting supporting LEED, Zero Carbon Buildings, and Green Globes programs. The 'Integrated Designs' sub-brand packages commissioning as a separately marketed offering.

Crosier Kilgour generates revenue through project-based professional service fees on multi-year consulting engagements, acquired primarily through direct relationships with architects (e.g., KPMB, LM Architectural Group, ft3, Perkins+Will), building owners, developers, and provincial/municipal government entities. Pricing is engagement-specific and not publicly disclosed. The firm has 69 employees, no parent company, no subsidiaries, no funding history, and operates as an independent professional practice across Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and broader prairie/Northern Canadian markets.
